At the Start of My C# Research

This article is a list of resources that I used way back at the start of my career with C#. Since there are a lot of C# tutorials already out I just wanted to write out some of my experiences and topics that I was curious to learn when starting out. The main reason why I wanted to used C# for programming was for Asp.net MVC applications and toward the second year I discovered XNA.

 Getting Ready at the Start!
    If you're a Java Developer the using Statement is much like a import and include in C++. Having experience with both languages doesn't hurt and speaking from my own experiences with both languages, C# is probably the easiest compared to all of them. And for multiple reasons, but mostly because of Visual Studio's Intellisense in my opinion. 

C# language itself
Random resources that I used, for multiple projects.
Reading Files
I took some old code from another project to see if I could convert it from c++ to c#.

Networking
    I wanted to explore the idea of using a network connection on the XNA framework, allowing me to have multiple platforms run together in multiple. This connection would not use the Xbox live networking but instead a customized one for across platforms.   

Image Handling

Data Scraping
This was not for any project but something I was curious to know at the time.

Generics
Was more of a C++ programmer at the time so this was new to me.

Problems I faced
    For starters it might be helpful to know the difference between .Net 4 Full vs .Net 4 Client Profile. I like to mess around with things and understand the two framework differences would be helpful. If you play around with your project properties under Application and in the Trager Framework you too can break things! Breaking things is good... Also in case you're still using VS10 and the Autocomplete intellisense not working in Visual Studio 2010 this will help you. I am always breaking the intellisense because of the different repository systems I use.

Mongodb Cheatsheet

This cheat sheet is based on the latest version of mongodb, which initial had setup and didn't encounter any problems. However that all changed when I was working remote and forgot I disabled the port no my network, rather than with the server. So I went pointing around where I didn't need to and ended up messing things up. The Best tutorial out there is of course on digital ocean for my setup on ubuntu 16.04 , this articles isn't so much about getting setup. I just wanted to include it because I found myself looking back at it to see if I missed a step. Bugs/Problems Now comes all the messed up things I found and had to deal with. firewall - Port seems to be open, but connection refused try using 0.0.0.0 in the bin_ip for the /etc/mongo.conf try sudo ufw disable and check to see if it works without the firewall (probably still wont but worth a shot), then just sudo ufw enable. Make sure port 27017 is open. Then check this  linux - Connection refused to MongoDB e

Installing Windows on Acer chromebook 15 cb3-532

Much of my notes are just small problems I faced (what's new!) haha. Either way this was a really fun project to do for a friend and I got excited once I research all the information. You can find instruction videos but what helped me the most was the coolstar website. Sadly they don't have parameters in the url so I can link the machine I used in this article. -  https://coolstar.org/chromebook/windows-install.html Scared of messing with the bios? Don't be!    So you need to first remove the screw to put a legacy bios on the machine. Its easy to backup the chrome os one and with the same steps to change it. You can go back in and revert to the chrome version bios. Its that last part that had me worried and its very easy to do.  Problems getting into Developer Mode?   Follow the instructions to the letter, during the step to disable the OS verification, press Ctrl-D to boot into os. If you hear two beeps I would go back to set one. I got in a loop where it s
